Top posting some status updates:
The board voted to approve this SIG earlier this week, with a caveat for build requirements.
Most SIG ideas use the basic repo or rpm structure, whereas rpm-ostree has a fundamental shift in the build process for images. We'll be reaching out to the SIG leaders to identify what build resources may be necessary and how best to address those needs in a manner that can be reasonably automated. Once we have an idea of scope and tasks, we can start moving forward with this.

Hi all,
Please see the proposal below and let me know if you have any suggestions, are interested in being involved, or any other comments, thoughts, or flames.
================================================================
Atomic Host SIG
The CentOS Atomic Host SIG will work on a CentOS-based Atomic Host image that provides a minimal image using rpm-ostree, as well as tools and documentation for users to create their own CentOS/Atomic images with custom package sets.
## Goals
- Ship a minimal CentOS Atomic Host that focuses on running Docker
containers in production.
- Provide ISO images installable with Anacona, and images suited for
OpenStack, CloudStack, Amazon Web Services/Eucalyptus, and Google Compute Engine.
- Provide tools and documentation that can be used to spin custom images
from CentOS packages to be deployed with Atomic (rpm-ostree) tools.
- Provide regular releases as underlying tools (e.g. rpm-ostree)
advance, while maintaining stability for in-place upgrades.
- Establish a time-based release cadence.
- All code included in the Atomic image will be under an OSI-approved
license.
- Unless differentation is absolutely necessary, all packages common to
CentOS core and CentOS Atomic will be identical.
## Mailing List and Communication
Work for the CentOS Atomic image relevant to CentOS build systems, etc. will take place on centos-devel. Work related to upstream Atomic will take place on the Atomic mailing lists.
Note that the Atomic community comprises efforts underway with CentOS, Fedora, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, as well as upstreams like Docker and OpenShift (GearD) so discussions may span several communities and mailing lists.
## SIG Membership
The Atomic Host SIG will have a steering committee and committers. The steering committee will consist initially of Joe Brockmeier, Jason Brooks, Jim Perrin, Brian Proffitt, Greg DeKoenigsberg, and _________ (?). New committers and steering committee members are appointed by the steering committee.
Committer privileges, once earned, do not expire unless revoked by the steering committee.
The steering committee will appoint a chair to interface with the CentOS Board.
## Meetings
The CentOS Atomic SIG will initially meet weekly until all pieces are in place for regular releases, then as needed.
## Roadmap and (Action) TODO List
- Define package set
- Establish builds for target environments (cloud deployments and bare
metal)
- Define orchestration tool(s) for CentOS Atomic
- Establish test / QA processes
- Set long-term release cadence, upgrade policies
## Further Info
- Project Atomic (http://projectatomic.io)
- Fedora Atomic Initiative (http://rpm-ostree.cloud.fedoraproject.org/#/)
